Netbook Scoop

In my last article, I reviewed recent activity by product on our Netbook Price Comparison Guide.  While I was preparing the article, I noticed another interesting trend.  The level of interest in netbooks with Linux was much higher than I expected.

Here is a quick rundown:

• Aspire One: 67% Linux – 33% Windows
• Eee PC 1000:  30% Linux – 70% Windows (1000H)
• Eee PC 2G Surf: 100% Linux (just seeing if you’re paying attention) 8^)
• Eee PC 901: 50% Linux – 50% Windows
• MSI Wind: 29% Linux – 71% Windows

I’m surprised by the level of interest in netbooks configured with Linux.

I’m not sure what to make of this except to keep watching.  If you have some insight, please comment below.
